Something as creepy and interesting I've never seen before... :) It is a shop window of an doll repairer-restaurator... Never seen that before. But I just thought it was very cool somehow... Loved the lighting and the reflection of the Christmas lights in the window.

Great capture and your right all those dolls heads cramped into a window is a little creepy, can't think what the owls are all about:-) Italy like France has an interesting perspective on shop window dressing :-)

Love this shot mate. The dark, gloomy lighting adds a nice creepy feel to it and mixed with the dolls, great shot! :)

Behind The Lens

Location

This is a photo of an old shop window of a doll repairer. Didn't even know that something like that exists, so I was overwhelmed and excited when I saw this scenery in front of me... all cute and spooky at the same time.

Time

I think is was late afternoon, early evening. It was Christmas time, as Christmas lights reflect in the window.

Lighting

No flash used, just natural light, handheld camera.

Equipment

Nikon D3200 with tamron 18-200mm lens.

Inspiration

Absolutely the strangeness of this extraordinary scene, that you certainly don't see every day. I believe scenes like this are nightmares for many, and therefore popular subject in horror films. ;)

Editing

Not much, only the basic corrections.

In my camera bag

Nikon D3200, Tamron 18-200mm lens, Nikon 50mm prime lens, little tripod, remote shutter release, extra battery and plenty of SD cards.

Feedback

Well, this shot wasn't planned, I literraly ran into it. So the only advice would be - carry your camera always with you, you never know when will you bump into something this wierd and interesting.
